Dr. Ridgeway was recommended to me by a very good friend. My experience with Durango Chiropractic did not disappoint. They have a beautiful, clean and welcoming environment and take the time to understand your concerns and issues initiating your visit. They go over your chiropractic history and ensure your treatment aligns with your current medical needs. I highly recommend this practice!

Dr Ridgeway and staff are very professional yet warm and friendly. I felt very well taken care of. I have had 3 major car accidents during my life and have been to many Chiropractors. The results I am getting now from Dr Ridgeway have been the best to date. I have gone from constant pain and lethargy to being able to walk and get my life back. So thankful I found this clinic!

I came into Dr. Ridgway’s office feeling a ton of pain in my back and neck. Thanks to him, we figured out the cause, and after months of work, I feel a million times better! Chiropractic health is a must, and Dr. Ridgway and his staff are amazing and very welcoming. I love being a patient here!

I am a work in progress; but in a short time I am experiencing relief from neck and shoulder pain and discomfort. Dr. Ridgeway and his staff are friendly, efficient and informative. I’m pleased I took a friend’s recommendation and called for an appointment. Dr. Ridgeway actually saw me on a day the office was closed in order to help me out. Very unusual. I would highly recommend Durango Chiropractic.

Excellent care. I had severe neck pain for close to a month and muscle relaxers/ PT/ pain meds didn’t work. Dr. Ridgway was the only one who helped my neck pain. Today I accidentally hurt my back and was in tears, he took me in with no appointment to help get me back to work on time. The staff also was very caring and kind. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Ridgway and his team were fantastic! So thankful they were open super early and very accommodating with my timelines and situation. I was able to get in and adjusted in time to make the train to Silverton and be able to move my neck on my wedding day the following day. Thank you so much.

The staff at Durango chiropractic is phenomenal. Very professional, organized and a pleasure to be around. 🌟🏥

I hurt my back skiing 🎿 and could barely walk. As soon as I walked in, the staff took me to get x-rays 🩻. The doctor was in within minutes to review the images, had a pleasant conversation with me to determine next steps 📋. We went into the next room and he adjusted my back with quick, efficient and well-trained movements 🙌⚕️. I returned that afternoon for a second adjustment for the doctors recommendation. 🔄

The doctor was kind enough to give us his cell phone 📱 and he set up an appointment on his day off to adjust me because he thought that was the best for my recovery. 💼📅

The quality and care Durango Chiropractic provides is nothing short of amazing. ⭐ Thank you so much for all you do.

Bryon's Testimonials

As a lifelong runner, I entered 2024 with two decades of Achilles tendonitis, which left me on the edge of retiring from serious running. A course of stemwave therapy at Durango Chiropractic helped break the cycle of pain and dysfunction.

Stemwave, along with rehab exercises and smart training, allowed me to return to training I could have only dreamt of months earlier. That autumn, I was able to not only finish my goal race of the year, the Ultra Gobi 250 Mile, I won it and set the race record in the midst of the race of my life. I head into 2025 training harder than I ever have before and dreaming of what that might yield.

Thanks, Durango Chiropractic!
